Former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly documents dozens of examples of underhanded golf behavior by President Donald Trump in a new book.
FILE - In this July 14, 2018 file photo, President Donald Trump waves to protesters while playing golf at Turnberry golf club, in Turnberry, Scotland. Trump’s alleged misdeeds on and around the golf course are the subject of a new book by former sports columnist Rick Reilly, called “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump.” Reilly documents dozens of examples of exaggerations and underhanded play by the president.
“In golf, he’s definitely not exonerated,” Reilly told The Associated Press. “There’s been dozens and dozens of people that can declare him guilty of cheating.” Says Reilly: “I don’t know much about politics, but I know golf and it really offended me, not as a voter or as a citizen — just as a golfer.”
Some of the allegations aren’t new. Boxer Oscar De La Hoya told The AP in 2016 that Trump cheated against him twice in the space of two holes. “Yes, I caught him,” De La Hoya said. “It was unbelievable. But I guess it was his course, so it was his rules.” “It helps to know golf, because golf explains Trump,” Reilly says. The president peppers his public statements with golf metaphors, tweeting in December about the Federal Reserve, “The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can’t score because he has no touch - he can’t putt!”Trump honed his game at Cobbs Creek, a public course outside of Philadelphia, which he later described as full of “hustlers” and where he “learned about everything.
